I was 'sick' today from work. I decided that with the slightly warmer weather the past few days, mid 30s, the fishing should be good. It was an overcast day, which as you probably know is a good thing for trout fishing. I fished on SC behind the BSH. Today's observed high was 40 at about noon and slowly cooled down to about 35 by 4:00pm. Water flows: SC at MB 290cfs. SC at Ax 91cfs. OK, enough with temps and stream flows!
Fishing was great today. I fished tandem nymphs to great success, both size 16, a frenchie and a sowbug. I ended up landing 11 trout, with the largest being about 10, maybe 11 inches. I used two size 6 micro shot to help get them to the bottom. The fish were right on the bottom and even with two weighted nymphs, I wasn't able to get down to their level. The fishing really picked up as the weather turned from overcast to overcast with rain and ice. I walked back to the nice hole about 60 yards upstream from the bridge and as the wintry mix started. I landed a few nice trout in the riffles and the tailout of the pool.
I probably missed another 5-6, so all in all it was a very productive afternoon on the water.
I may end up being 'sick' again REEL soon, if you catch my drift.
